Sergio - If I were offered that particular artillery Luger, the 9x21 cartridge would not bother me. I might use that as leverage to get a lower price, but as long as it shoots *something*, I don't really care what.

The fine tune sights would bother me more. I don't like FT sights, and I have a set/barrel.

That Luger has an unmodified sear, which I have only seen pics of once or twice (never in person). Again, not an issue to me, but possibly might be used to lever price.

I love the brown holster, especially the ball & socket fastener. The cleaning rod is cool, too. Can't see the board (it's just barely visible), so I couldn't make a final determination, but the price you quote would definitely have me thinking...
